TIPS: Those who live for the view will love the panoramic Niagara Escarpment views at Rattlesnake Point and Mount Nemo. Those who love chasing waterfalls won’t want to miss the 10-metre cascade at Hilton Falls. Those who prefer two wheels to feet will love discovering Kelso’s diverse trails.

After your hike, head to Ivy Arms in downtown Milton for lunch. This laidback, Irish-style restaurant offers delicious pub fare, a patio, and live music and karaoke in the evening hours.

Next head to Orange Snail Brewers for a craft brew lineup that will kick every beer lover’s taste buds into overdrive. Stay for a tour and tasting, and learn how the owners Kevin and Damion only work with local farmers to get the freshest hops, maple syrup, honey, pumpkins and spices for their brews. Sample their staples—a full flavoured pale ale, a rich amber ale and a heavily hopped IPA—all of which are titled to pay homage to Halton Region’s history. Seasonal specialties are also available, just ask what’s in!

The Rad Brothers Sports Bar and Tap House offers an extensive list of local craft beer and premium beers on tap, as well as a diverse menu that will please even the pickiest eater in your crew. Enjoy musical entertainment on weekends, from live local bands and cover bands to salsa and oldies DJs.

Day 2

Grab breakfast at Louie’s Diner. It’s a local hotspot that offers all-day breakfast, so you don’t have to feel bad about sleeping in.

The Mattamy National Cycling Centre is a must-see when you are in the area. The velodrome was built for the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games and features a 250-metre long, 7-metre wide timber track with 42-degree banked bends and 13-degree banked straights. It is the only facility of its kind in Canada and only the second that meets top international standards in North America. Take a tour of the amazing facility then join in the action with a “try it” session.

After building up a thirst, head north from Milton to taste the fruit wines of Andrews’ Winery. The fruit is grown right on the farm and includes award-winning strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, cherry, apple and currant wines. You can also enjoy your day on the farm with a picnic of local goodies from their Farmer’s Market. Explore the farm by picking produce or going on a wagon ride.

To extend your trip, consider adding a visit to another craft brewery on the Hamilton Halton Brant True Brew Path to your itinerary. Time your visit with one of our amazing festivals and events for an extra special stay.
